the battery plugs.
•
Follow the steps indicated in the battery manufactur-
er’s operating and safety manual (see the battery main-
tenance section).
If the machine is equipped with gel batteries (mainte-
nance free), follow the instructions indicated here below.
If the machine is used regularly:
Always keep the batteries connected to the battery
charger when the machine is not being used.
If the machine is not used for extended time periods:
Charge the battery during the night after the last work
period, then disconnect the battery from the battery
charger.
Charge the battery during the night before using the
machine again.
Intermediate or incomplete charging while working
should be avoided. If the machine is equipped with Pb-
Acid batteries, use a hydrometer to check the element liq-
uid intensity on a regular basis: if one or more elements
are discharged and the others fully charged, the battery
has been damaged and should be replaced or repaired
(refer to the battery service manual). Close the element
plugs and lower the top tank.
Hold the connectors with the hands; don’t pull them
using the cables.
Reconnect the battery connector to the connector on the
machine.
7.2 SQUEEGEE AND SPLASH GUARD ASSEM-
BLY, DISASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
The squeegee is the main component that ensures per-
fect drying.
7.2.1 SQUEEGEE ASSEMBLY
Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep the body
raised while completing connections.
Loosen the connection knobs on the squeegee support
(Photo E - 3).
Insert the openings of the squeegee body in the brackets
of the oscillating support.
Fully tighten the squeegee knobs of the support (Photo
E - 3) in order to block the squeegee on the support.
Firmly insert the machine suction hose into the squeegee
body (Photo E - 5).
7.2.2 SQUEEGEE DISASSEMBLY
Lower the lifting system to avoid having to keep the body
raised while completing connections.
Disconnect the suction hose from the squeegee body
(Photo E - 5).
Loosen the connections connection knobs on the squee-
gee support (Photo E - 3).
Pull back the squeegee body to detach it from the
brackets of the oscillating support.
7.2.3 SQUEEGEE BLADES DISASSEMBLY/ AS-
SEMBLY
Disassemble the squeegee from its support (see 7.2.2).
Unscrew the knobs ( Photo E - 2, E - 3 ) placed on the
squeegee body and apply some pressure on their bolts
in order to push out the plastic support of the squeegee
blades from the squeegee body.
Tear off the rubber blades from the plastic support.
Assemble the new blades on the plastic support by the
means of the plastic pins that have to be fixed in the
holes placed the blades.
Push the plastic support of the squeegee blades into the
squeegee body and screw the knobs ( Photo E - 2, E - 3 )
to secure it to the squeegee body. Reassemble the squee-
gee to its support (see 7.2.1)
7.2.4 SQUEEGEE ADJUSTMENT
The knob screw on the squeegee support (Photo
E - 4) adjust the squeegee’s inclination with respect to the
floor. The two screws on the sides, connected to the rear
wheels of the squeegee (Photo E - 6), are to adjust the
pressure of the squeegee to the floor. When the squee-
gee is perfectly adjusted, the rear squeegee blade, sliding
as it moves, bends in all points forming an angle of 45°
with the floor.
As the machine operates (advances), it is possible to op-
erate on the inclination knob and pressure screws ( Photo
E - 4 ; Photo E - 6 ) to adjust the inclination and pressure of
the squeegee blades on the floor.
Squeegee drying must be uniform along the entire dry-
ing line: damp patches mean that drying is insufficient;
turn the adjustment knobs to optimise drying.
7.2.5 SPLASH GUARD ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY
The splash guard is attached to the brush plate (Photo
A - 6) by interlocking on the plastic cover.
To remove the splash guard is sufficient to pull it down
until it detaches from the plastic cover.
To replace the splash guard,push it into the bottom edge
of the plastic cover from one end and continue pushing
up to the other end.
7.3 ACCESSORY ASSEMBLY/DISASSEMBLY
(BRUSHES, PAD DRIVERS AND ABRASIVE DISKS)
•
Never use the machine if brushes or pad drivers and
abrasive disks are not perfectly installed.
Assembly:
Make sure that the brush plate is raised; otherwise lift
it by following the instructions provided in the specific
section.
Make sure that the ignition key on the control panel is
in position “0”.
Bring the brushes (or the guide disks equipped with abra-
sive disks) near the connections, under the brush plate;
lift them, bring them through the centering flange, and
turn them opposite the rotation direction until you hear
the stable “click” connection.
•
Do not allow the length of the rows of brushes to be-
come lower than 1 cm.
•
Do not allow the thickness of the abrasive disks to be-
come less than 1 cm.
Working with excessively worn brushes or excessively
thin abrasive disks may damage the machine and the
floor.
Regularly check the wear on these parts before starting
